Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001

An approval under section 49 (Issue or refusal of approval for sports bookmaking venue) may be issued subject to any conditions that the commission considers appropriate—

for the proper conduct of race bookmaking at the sports bookmaking venue to which the approval relates; or

otherwise in the public interest.

The commission may, by written notice to the holder of an approval (the race bookmaker), change the conditions to which the approval is subject (other than the condition applying under subsection (4)) if the commission considers it appropriate to do so—

for the proper conduct of race bookmaking at the sports bookmaking venue to which the approval relates; or

otherwise in the public interest.

Note Under pt 10 (Notification and review of decisions), a decision to issue an approval subject to a condition, or change an approval condition, may, on application, be reconsidered by the commission and reviewed by the ACAT.

The change takes effect—

on the operative day; or

if a later day of effect is stated in the notice—on that later day.

Note For the meaning of operative day, see dict.

It is a condition of an approval in relation to a sports bookmaking venue at the Canberra racecourse that race bookmaking must not be carried on at the venue when a race meeting is being held at the racecourse.
